Handel later resigned after the charity's board decided to reverse the funding decision, a fact that Ossoff sought to highlight during the campaign. He told Buzzfeed News,

Secretary Handel has a long track record of seeking to impose her own views, and she took a job at a charity whose purpose is fighting breast cancer, she abused her position to impose those views, defunded life-saving breast cancer screenings, resigned in disgrace, and cost the organization tens of millions of dollars or more in life-saving contributions.

Unsurprisingly, Handel's campaign pushed back against the attack, with her spokeswoman Kate Constantini saying in a statement,

It's not surprising Jon Ossoff is sticking to the Democratic playbook. He wants to equate Planned Parenthood to women's health, pretending that anyone who doesn't support them is anti-woman.

After the results came in on Tuesday night showing Handel's win, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue said in a statement,

Over the course of this campaign, Karen Handel proved time and again she cares more about her own extreme ideological agenda than the health and security of women and families.

As the prospect of defunding Planned Parenthood becomes more of a possibility for Republicans, welcoming yet another politician who is against Planned Parenthood could very easily have implications for women's health.
